[linux-audio-dev] GPL and VST.

Hello A friend and I have made a VST plugin as a college project, and would like to open source it, and possibly port it to other plugin APIs. We are considering the GNU GPL for our licence, which has lead to this question: Does VST count as a special exception of being "anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable," or should we follow the suggestion about [1]controlled interfaces in the GPL FAQ?
